What Does God See When He Looks At Me?

Someone came into our church office this week, they were not sure why but they just felt the need to come in.  The basic, nonchalant conversation that we were having turned into something more divine.  God used this person to bless, encourage and confirm things to His little girl and as we both watched this play out, we were in tears.  One thing that they reminded me of and that I want to encourage you with is to never forget how the Lord sees you.

Life causes scars, hardened hearts and wrinkles.  We get older, our bodies are not what they used to be, we  become jaded and our child-like innocence turns into adult reality.  No matter what has happened in your life or what is to come, God still and will continue to see you as He always has, as His precious child.  It was suggested to me to get a picture of myself of when I was a little girl and place it in my Bible. This is the one that I picked..

When days get tough and my mind wants to doubt, I can open up my Bible and remind myself of what He sees when He looks at me.  He knows we are vulnerable, that we need Him to provide for us, to strengthen us, to comfort us and even for our daily breath.  We need Him for everything.  He knows.  Just the way you look at your daughter or son when they come to you with tears in their eyes from hurt feelings or boo-boos and worries or fears is the exact same way God looks at you when you come to Him. 

So get a picture and put it in your Bible, purse or wallet and when you need a reminder pull it out and let God remind you of His daddy's heart towards you.
